All this week, we’ll be posting the shortlisted photographs in the Digital Lightroom ‘Spring’ photo competition. On Saturday, we’ll post all the pictures together and you’ll then have the opportunity to vote for your favourite. Voting will be open for 5 days and the winner will be announced on Friday the 29th March.

The second of the shortlisted pictures (and these are in no particular order) is Mike Fiveson’s photograph of a spring meadow. You can see more of Mike’s work at by visiting his blog – Mike’s Look at Life.

This is a classic composition with all the elements in the picture arranged well. This image is beautifully sharp, nicely exposed and has a very optimitic feel to it; the snow is receding from the mountains and the meadow is blooming. A really nice photograph.
